NSF Workshop on Assurable and Usable Security Configuration

Abstract
Configurations for today’s IP networks are becoming increasingly complex. As a result, configuration management is becoming a major cost factor for network providers and configuration errors are becoming a major cause of network disruptions. In this talk, I will present a new configuration management capability called shadow configurations. Shadow configurations allow configuration evaluation in the real network before deployment and thus can reduce potential network disruptions. Real implementation demonstrates that shadow configurations can be implemented with low overhead.
